Quite a score of you got this free. I think I spent quite a bit. I don’t remember what I paid but I do know It wasn’t cheap at all. Where did you find a free bin?
I have to say I don't know how long it will hold up but I was pleasantly surprised how nice this was. The plastic clips clip on securely but I am not so sure how long they will continue to do so and I think I would be careful clipping them in really cold weather. My main issue was that when setting it up for the first time the adjustible slats on the stove side were so tight that they tore the plastic on the rounded bars that they clipped onto when I unclipped to take it down. I had to remove the plastic from the round pieces. It wasn't that big of a deal but didn't like it. Next, I had a little trouble using a propane stove and a 1 lb propane tank. Maybe it can just dangle over the right side but I don't like that there was no support. I would have liked it if the lantern holder could have been switched and mounted on the exact other diagnal side so that you could put the table on the right side and the grill on the left side and then rest your 1 lb propane tank on the table, or if the table area could be just snapped on the right side without having the lantern holder interfere with it because the table edge extends out too far. And that lantern holder seemed a little flimsey to begin with. One other thought that would have put this camp kitchen over the top would be that it would have been nice if I wanted to use the whole top area as a table and that an additional table piece could have been included or available for additional purchase that snapped onto the stove side instead of the stove support. Maybe it could have been marketed as a table with the additional stove supports if one chose to go that route Anyway, it is pretty nice for what it is, compact and lite adn functional. My setup is this table with a triton stove on the right side with a hose and a 5 lb prpane tank in a bucket secured to the leg for added weight, OR a 20 lb propane tank in a plastic crate stored as well. Not using those single-use propane tanks and this negates the need to support the 1 lb tank. Could also leave the lantern support off and position the propane tank crate next to back rear leg and attach and use my propane tree for a prone lantern and the stove and position my Weber Q and stand on the right. But again, if I was bringing my Camp Chef explorer this would have been great as just a table to position near it. Maybe I will fabricate something to extend the table area to the right.
Thanks for sharing your setup and feedback. I just used this for a second time recently and I remember being able to rest the propane tank on the table to the right of the camp grill? I have to go back and review my video footage. You might be able to put the table part on either side. I’ll try to look into it the next time I pull it out
It was sturdy for me, but a tip I have is to get a plastic crate (preferably black for aesthetics) and keep a 20 lb propane tank in it with a hose hookup for your favorite propane stove such as my Coleman Triton and then attach it with cordage to the table to give some stability and additional weight.
Got one of these out of a free bin and for the life of me couldn’t figure out what it was supposed to look like. Helpful video! ✌️

I have a Coleman dual fuel lantern, do you see the plastic joint near the top of the hook potentially melting from the heat of the lantern?
When extended I think it will be OK.
Did you find this sturdy or did it wobble at all while using? Just wondering about cutting & cooking on?
I found it sturdy. I had no problem with cooking and cutting sausage on it for sausage and egg on the morning

It's called a tripod. Get one.

Oh my. It’ll be better if you figure it out before filming.
